There are three flamenco venues I know of in Sydney showing regular flamenco performances: Postales (Martin Place), Spanish Terraces (off Liverpool St) and Bacchus Restaurant (Katoomba). But as I'll be in Andalucia for 12 days in October, and therefore wont be able to go to those gigs, could someone suggest a place in that region where I could watch some half decent flamenco before returning to Sydney, the flamenco capital of the south seas? You guys are hard to budge.
Many thanks. I have been looking forward to coming across Florian as I've listened to the stuff on his webpage and will try and make the Saturday. Does he play in Bondi regularly?
Almeria, Granada, Jerez, Seville. A friend tells me I must visit Cordoba but we (travelling with partner) only have 12 days. Thanks for the holidays link. It'll be the first time I've been to Spain in 27 years - when my wife was pregnant with our first child. Their all big now. I was into funk music in those days and didn't go south. I've been working on flamenco for about five years and Spanish for two so consider myself a novice/slow learner on both counts. Where should a novice go I wonder?
